The American University of Beirut awarded on June 28 honorary doctoral degrees to five individuals--along with a surprise doctorate to President John Waterbury--who left their imprint on the Middle East and the world through their five respective fields: peace activism and mediation, art, human rights activism, literature, and environmental science. The award ceremony, took place at noon in Assembly Hall, coinciding with the University's 139th Commencement, which was scheduled for later that day.

The five recipients were: Palestinian peace activist Hanan Ashrawi, Lebanese-Palestinian artist Mona Hatoum, Bangladeshi human rights activist Irene Khan, Turkish writer and Nobel Prize laureate Orhan Pamuk, and Lebanese environmentalist and scientist Georges Tohme.
